Saudi Arabia in the 2002 World Cup

Group E

Germany vs Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia never came to the World Cup finals with any hope of winning the trophy, but they couldn't have expected to be completely thrashed by Germany either.

Cameroon vs Saudi Arabia
Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o finally broke the deadlock in the 65th minute, by getting onto a long pass from Geremi. Saudi Arabia became the first team to be knocked out of the competition.

Saudi Arabia vs Ireland
As much as they tried, Saudi Arabia couldn't score a goal in the tournament; but then neither could France.
